We said

Thank you for your request. ​

We last took part in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index during 2018. From this exercise, we were able to gain insight across 10 areas of employment policy and practice, as well being able to learn more about employees' experiences of diversity and inclusion at work. This helped to inform how our activities could be further developed to progress LGBT+ inclusion.
